Treasure stick! And by treasures I mean metallic objects of great historical and significant value..like bottle caps
This metal detector I purchased is a direct result of watching "The Curse of Oak Island."
I think I might have caught treasure fever from watching that show, I suspect I amore susceptible to Oak Island Treasure Fever as compared to other peoples sine I was born and raised in gorgeous Nova Scotia.
Anyways, we live in the desert where there is oodles of space that could be hiding treasures.....what's under that rock? That sand? That pile of dead cactus? I DID NOT KNOW, because alas I had no treasure stick with which to find treasures.
And by treasures I mean metallic objects of great historical and significant value...like bottle caps, shell casings and nails. Rusty nails...yeah. MY rusty nails now.
I seriously love this unit, for the price it seems a bit like magic...being able to wave it around over the ground and find hidden metal...I don't actually need to find ancient coins from treasure hiding peoples, just finding a nickel or a QUARTER woo to the hooo, is plenty satisfying. Plus there's the whole being out in sunshine, fresh air, beautiful views plus a bit of exercise.
I did find a cool old shell casing which led me down a fascinating internet rabbit hole where I discovered a whole world of people who collect shell casings, who knew? I do now.
I attached some pics of the stuff I found, perhaps not worth a lot (yet) but it was quite exciting each time the metal detector gave me the beep that meant metal.
It's very easy to use. I think it would make a unique gift for people too. I am keeping this in mind for future gifts for people we know.
